Guess who came to dinner? The crew seemed far less excited than I was. She is not a pet, just joined in for a snack.Obviously I am in Australia. I have come across a few great pics here showing cats and dogs joining in for dinner, So instead of having a chicken dinner, who has joined a chicken...
I was wondering if anyone had a Smooth frizzle (or cochin) x EE? I incubated 8 cochin x smooth frizzle & could not resist putting in one of my EE eggs. I only have one EE hen & I really thought she was very strange looking when I got her but she has become a real favourite and has personality...
